Face wash
“First things first, I start with washing my face. Now, I only rinse my face with water. I don’t really use a cleanser in the morning because I feel it’s a little too harsh for my skin. My skin is mostly dry,” Manushi explained. She shared that she believes in letting the natural oils produced overnight give her skin a healthy glow. “Remember to pat your face dry, don’t rub. I used to rub my face, and my mom was like, ‘What are you doing to your skin?’”
Honey mask
Next comes one of her favourite steps: “I actually use a honey mask in the morning. Sometimes I wash my face with honey, but today we’re doing a mask because we have some extra minutes. Honey is great for hydration and glow. Normally I’d rub it on and wash it off quickly, but today I’m letting it sit a bit longer.”
Hydrogenated water
While her mask works its magic, Manushi makes her morning drink: hydrogenated water. “This is the first thing I consume every morning. My dad introduced me to it. It has anti-inflammatory properties, is a great antioxidant, and I’ve noticed a surge in energy ever since I started drinking it,” she said.
Pre-workout skincare
Before heading to the gym, she applies a light layer of hydration. “I use ozonated glycerin, which my dad introduced me to. It’s super hydrating, non-comedogenic, and works for both acne-prone and dry skin. I don’t like heavy skincare before a workout.”
Special morning drink
Manushi also shared her unique morning drink: “I start with malic and ascorbic acid, fun fact, most people think citric acid is vitamin C, but it’s actually ascorbic acid. I add a little potassium chloride, iodine, and methylene blue, prescribed by my doctor. I’ve noticed subtle changes in my energy, skin, and inflammation. These small things really count.”
Pre-workout meal
Her pre-workout meal is simple and wholesome. “Most people expect something fancy, but it’s literally a little dal, rice, and ghee. It gives me the right amount of complex carbs and fat before a workout without affecting my weight.”
Post-workout skincare
After her workout and breakfast, Manushi focuses on skincare: “I start with moisturiser. There’s something so therapeutic about it, it’s like massaging your face, thinking about life, and focusing on your breath. Then comes eye cream and sunscreen, a very important step. I became regular with sunscreen in college. Back in school, I didn’t take care of my skin at all.”
